First episode about Dock Start 😉
Running Dock start: the easiest way to get started pumping.
How to make it work consistently?
Start decomposed in 3 phases:
- Running phase on Dock
- Transition / Jumping phase
- Pumping phase
Tips for each phase…
Running phase: Free your mind, make it as easy as possible!
- Know how many steps you want to go for: for me three are perfect
- Know what and where will be your last foot on the dock
- Go reverse, know where to start
Transition/Jumping phase: Gliding exercise first!
- Jump forward as far as possible to conserve speed
- Keep control of your foil, be stable
- Keep board parallel to water
- Start with a gliding exercise: jump on board and glide as far/long as you can without pumping
Pumping phase: Start climbing!
- push down quickly on your back foot to connect with your foil
- Extend your body upwards to be as light as possible
- let your knees go up
